Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of The Mosaic Company s management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to risks and uncertainties arising from the ability of MWSPC to obtain additional planned funding in acceptable amounts and upon acceptable terms, the timely development and commencement of operations of production facilities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the future success of current plans for MWSPC and any future changes in those plans; difficulties with realization of the benefits of our long term natural gas based pricing ammonia supply agreement with CF Industries, Inc., including the risk that the cost savings initially anticipated from the agreement may not be fully realized over its term or that the price of natural gas or ammonia during the term are at levels at which the pricing is disadvantageous to Mosaic; customer defaults; the effects of Mosaic s decisions to exit business operations or locations; the predictability and volatility of, and customer expectations about, agriculture, fertilizer, raw material, energy and transportation markets that are subject to competitive and other pressures and economic and credit market conditions; the level of inventories in the distribution channels for crop nutrients; the effect of future product innovations or development of new technologies on demand for our products; changes in foreign currency and exchange rates; international trade risks and other risks associated with Mosaic s international operations and those of joint ventures in which Mosaic participates, including the risk that protests against natural resource companies in Peru extend to or impact the Miski Mayo mine; changes in government policy; changes in environmental and other governmental regulation, including expansion of the types and extent of water resources regulated under federal law, carbon taxes or other greenhouse gas regulation, implementation of numeric water quality standards for the discharge of nutrients into Florida waterways or efforts to reduce the flow of excess nutrients into the Mississippi River basin, the Gulf of Mexico or elsewhere; further developments in judicial or administrative proceedings, or complaints that Mosaic s operations are adversely impacting nearby farms, business operations or properties; difficulties or delays in receiving, increased costs of or challenges to necessary governmental permits or approvals or increased financial assurance requirements; resolution of global tax audit activity; the effectiveness of Mosaic s processes for managing its strategic priorities; adverse weather conditions affecting operations in Central Florida, the Mississippi River basin, the Gulf Coast of the United States or Canada, and including potential hurricanes, excess heat, cold, snow, rainfall or drought; actual costs of various items differing from management s current estimates, including, among others, asset retirement, environmental remediation, reclamation or other environmental regulation, Canadian resources taxes and royalties, or the costs of the MWSPC, its existing or future funding and Mosaic s commitments in support of such funding; reduction of Mosaic s available cash and liquidity, and increased leverage, due to its use of cash and/or available debt capacity to fund financial assurance requirements and strategic investments; brine inflows at Mosaic s Esterhazy, Saskatchewan, potash mine or other potash shaft mines; other accidents and disruptions involving Mosaic s operations, including potential mine fires, floods, explosions, seismic events, sinkholes or releases of hazardous or volatile chemicals; and risks associated with cyber security, including reputational loss, as well as other risks and uncertainties reported from time to time in The Mosaic Company s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Actual results may differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

3 The Mosaic Company

4 The Mosaic Company Leading Miner of Agricultural Minerals Mosaic helps the world grow the food it needs by mining phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) minerals and refining these ores into plant nutrient products that are essential for global agriculture. In big round numbers, our North American operations typically dig, pump, cut, convey and hoist 105 million tonnes of raw P&K ores from the earth each year. We remove the sand, clay, salt and other elements to produce roughly 26 million tonnes of refined ores. We then process these refined ores into about 19 million tonnes of finished products using an additional six million tonnes of purchased or manufactured raw materials such as sulphur and anhydrous ammonia.

7 Plant Nutrients

8 Plant Nutrients Plant nutrients are plant food (and common chemical elements) 17 chemical elements are required for plant growth N-P-K: the carbohydrates, protein and fat of a plant s diet Growing importance of secondary nutrients and micronutrients especially in high yield systems Justus von Liebig and the Law of the Minimum Liebig s Barrel 8

9 Plant Nutrient Products Plant nutrients are contained in a variety of products Much like nutrients for animals are contained in a variety of feed ingredients Each plant nutrient product is identified by three numbers Referred to as its analysis Percentage of each primary nutrient contained in a unit of the product Plant Nutrient Analysis ## - ## - ## N P K Urea Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) Muriate of Potash (MOP)

10 The Challenge: Maintaining Soil Fertility and Safeguarding the Environment Soil fertility is maintained by replenishing the nutrients removed by crops each year Farmers maintain soil fertility and safeguard the environment by following the 4-Rs of nutrient stewardship The 4-Rs of nutrient stewardship Right source Right rate Right time Right place Nutrient Removal by Crop lbs Acre N P 2 O 5 K 2 O S Corn Bu Acre Yield Grain Stalks Total Soybeans - 70 Bu Acre Yield Grain Stover Total Wheat - 80 Bu Acre Yield Grain Straw Total Source: IPNI Best practices Soil testing Plant nutrient accounting Variable rate technology Multiple applications Nitrogen inhibitors and slow release products 10

11 Increasing Efficacy of Plant Nutrient Use U.S. Plant Nutrient Use on Corn The efficacy of plant nutrient use has increased significantly in the United States during the last few decades. U.S. corn yield nearly doubled from 79 bushels per acre in 1970 to 157 bushels per acre in Yet primary nutrient application rates remained flat at 230 pounds per acre during the same period. N use per bushel of corn harvested declined one-third from about 1.45 pounds in 1970 to less than 0.9 pounds in P 2 O 5 use per bushel of corn dropped more than 60% from about 0.7 pounds in 1970 to roughly 0.3 pounds in Manure usage has increased during this period, but U.S. farmers today are harvesting twice as much corn per acre with the same amount of commercial plant nutrients as used in 1970! K 2 O use per bushel of corn also dropped more than 60% from about 0.8 pounds in 1970 to 0.3 pounds in

19 Lower fertilizer prices in 2016 underpin demand as crop nutrients became more affordable Plant Nutrient Affordability Plant Nutrient Price Index / Crop Price Index Source: Weekly Price Publications, CME, USDA, AAPFCO, Mosaic Less Affordable Affordability Metric Average (2010-present) More Affordable Our plant nutrient affordability metric has bobbed and weaved with changes in agricultural commodity and plant nutrient prices, but the current reading indicates that plant nutrients are among the most affordable they have been in the past three years. Versus a year ago, affordability has improved due to crop prices holding up but significantly lower plant nutrient costs. 19
